DIY foaming hand wash essential oils - antibacterial

"MAKE YOUR OWN MOISTURIZING ANTIBACTERIAL FOAMING HAND WASH: I decided to try adding a little fractionated coconut oil for extra moisturizing. I also decided to add some essential oils to give it an antibacterial boost. I used Melaleuca (aka Tea Tree) + Wild Orange essential oils (both of which are antibacterial) but other good antibacterial EOs would be Lavender, Geranium, Lemon, + Peppermint. The addition of fractionated coconut oil made the foaming soap much less drying"

COCONUT ROSE BODY SCRUB. Start by putting a large scoop of coconut oil in the bottom of the jar. Next, pluck your rose petals and put them into the jar on top of the coconut oil. Add your raw sugar. If you can’t find raw cane sugar, brown sugar is a great option! The coarser the better. Add your almond or jojoba oil on top of the sugar. When you (or the person you’re giving this to as a gift) are ready to use it, take a spoon and mash it all up. The coarse sugar will break up the rose petals.
